Question

Group of answer choices

Biotic

Abiotic

Both

Answer 1

A niche involves both abiotic and biotic factors.

• Biotic factors refer to the living components of an ecosystem, such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, and their interactions.
• Abiotic factors are the non-living components, including climate, soil, water, and nutrients.

In ecology, a niche describes how an organism or species interacts with both types of factors in its environment. Therefore, the correct choice is Both.
